o( the investing public appears to he
one 0f regret that present financial
conditions will not permit heavy Investments In real estate at this time.
•IV Herald's latest information,
received by wire from Land Commissioner Ryley, of the G.T.P., is
definite on tlie matter of the date of
the Prince George sale.
Tbe Grand Trunk Pacific Railway
Company, as related long ago in
those columns, will sell their town-
site under the name of Prince George
awl it will be known by that name
Irom the date of the sale onward.
The station on their townsite will be
called Prince George, and their hotel
will also bear the name. The town-
site promoters who are endeavoring
to spread the illusion that tbe G. T.
P. railway are putting on the market
an "addition to the Fort George
townsite" will soon be disabused on
the matter, as will the credulous
ones who get a twisted sens i of relative values by perusing and digesting such absurd statements.
It is understood that certain parts
of the townBite will not be oflered
for Bale at this time. The eastern
end will be probably sold first and
the western end held under reserve
for future sale. Ii is very generally
conceded tbat the eastern portion of
the townsite will be the first area
to be generally developed, and we
believe that the first extensive business section will grow up within five
blocks of the Fraser river.
We advise intending investors to
purehase on the eastern end.
SUUTH FORT GEORGE, B. C, SATURDAYjsSPTEMBER,!* 1913

INDIANS ARE BARRED
CANYON CACHE ITEMS.
(Special Correspondence to the Herald)
According to Supt. W. G. Dow, Foley Bros., Welch & Stewart's Canyon
Cache will be ahut down within a
month. The canyon has been one of
the most important of the caches along
the river. Through it all of the tens
of thousands of dollars worth of Foley's
supplies and outfit have passed. The
Cache and its maintenance has cost
over $150,000 during the two seasons
of its existence which is reasonable in
view of the conditions that had to be
met and overcome.
Joe Steers of the Carleton Co., and
incidentally the best dressed man on
the line, spent Wednesday night at the
Canyon on his way to Fort George.
During the entire navigation season
the S. S. Conyeyor in command of Capt.
Shannon was the only steamboat to
negotiate the Upper Canyon without a
line. She made the run in a scant 15
minutes with her own power the last
four trips up. The only other steamer
to attempt it was the S. S. Robert G.
Hammond but she did not get far before a line was necessary to save her
from the rocks. It took the Hammond
six hours to make it. Capt. Malloryof
of the Marshall Wells launch made the
Upper Canyon several times on his own
power in less than 15 minutes.
The present mail service nlong the
line is now in first class shape. The
launch Kathleen leaving Mile 129 for
the Canyon every Sunday and Wednesday morning and the Betty F. leaving
Fort George for the Canyon every Tuesday and Friday morning.
Geo. Booth, one of the original "Canyon Cats" is back with Foley Bros.,
Welch & Stewart's regular pilot crew.
The boys on this crew have made big
stakes this season averaging about
$1000 each for each month of the season.
The low stage of the water has enabled Supt. Dow to begin salvaging
scows wrecked at the canyon in the
early part of the season. During the
first day's work this week several
thousand dollars worth of outfit was
recorded.
Fishing at Canyon is splendid, Fire
Warden Hanson caught an eight pound
trout just in front of the Upper warehouse. Two and three pounders are
quite plentiful.

away we had lots of rain and the
fires were all out. Everything at the

so far the province has enjoyed
splendid immunity from tire this year

I think much of the credit for that
condition belongs to the forest department.
"Now that the fires are out we
are commencing the construction of
trails at certain points and the general improvement of our system of

THE opening of the Grand Trunk Pacific for freight
traffic to Mile 145 B.C., will greatly facilitate the
placing of adequate supplies at Fort (leorge before navigation closes nn ihe Kraser, says the Edmonton Bulletin.
The steamers will be able to make two trips a week between South Kort George and the end of steel, while they
could only make one trip a week when the end of steel
was at Tele Jaime. But, even so, shippers will not be
able to depend upon the steamers to get their supplies
forward, as there is already said to be more freight awaiting than can be carried during the balance of the season.
This means that freight will have to go forward by flat-
boat, and therefore, that each shipper will have to make
his own arrangements for storing his freight at the end
of steel and getting it forwarded to Fort George. Under
these circumstances it would certainly be in place for the
Edmonton board of trade, or the jobbers' association, or
some individual association of dealers interested in the
Fort George trade to unite in placing an agent at Mile
145 who would see to the proper storage and shipment of
Edmonton goods destined for Fort George. Unless this
is clone, a great deal of extra individual expense will be
incurred, and no doubt, in any case, loss from damage or
delay will follow. This is a case in which Edmonton merchants will do well to work in co-operation. The possibility of trade is there; the railway has done its part; it
now depends on the dealers themselves to do theirs.
THOUGH it cannot be charged that we as a nation are
in any great danger of becoming excessively moral,
we are in some danger of becoming morbid over our morals, says the Detroit Free Press. Morbidity is a peculiar
privilege of youth at a certain age, and we appear to be
approaching that age.
Just as two or three years ago everybody talked,
thought, wrote and dreamed of mental therapeutics, and
discoursed learnedly of the influence of mind over the
body, so today everybody is discussing morals or cogitating on the subject. The whole country has become one
vast dissecting room, devoted to the study of sexology.
We go into fits over the horrors of the split skirt. We
rave inarticulately about the iniquity of the tongo and its
allied gyrations. We split hairs to find moral issues in
socialism, feminism and suffrage. We hold investigations to determine whether a $6 a week clerk can be a
respectable member of society. We discourse in mixed
companies on subjects which St. Paul would have classed
among matters not so much as to be mentioned. Supposedly reputable magazines publish treatises on subjects
that formerly were discussed only in well-guarded medical journals, and we hand the treatises over to our children for the health of their souls.
We revel in the contemplation of putrid iniquity and its
manifold incarnations, the more virtuous among us drawing therefrom a species of horrified belief.
If we thought so much about what we eat and what we
drink as we do about our morals we would all be hopelessly dyspeptic. If we examined as continuously into
the state of our national nerves as we do into the state
of our national morals we would be a land given over to
neurasthenia.
Our great mistake is in thinking that the question of
morals is primarily a public question, whereas it is in the
first instance a personal question. If we would forget
about our morals and content ourselves with being moral, we would all be much better off.
T^WO erudite gentlemen in the east have been debating
the merits and demerits of party government. Professor Adam Shortt, former teacher of political economy
at Queen's University and now a civil service commissioner, declares that the system is the invention of Satan,
made worse by human professionals, while Professor Mc-
Phail, of Montreal, says that, if party government were
abolished worse evils would follow. The most ardent
supporters of the system freely admit its defects, Imi nobody has immortalized himself so far as to suggest a feas-
able substitute. It would be interesting and entertaining to learn from Professor Adam Shortt what he proposes to take the place of that which he picturesquely describes as a Satanic invention. The only alternative that
presents itself is absolute despotism; but the profane history of the world lias exhibited no person qualified to enjoy supreme mundane power. We know this to be true,
because one-man rule has been tried. -Victoria Times.

exciting much interest in the architectural world, as it is practically converting the back to the old hotel into the
front of a new one. Beautiful as the
old structure was, the back ground of
Rundle Mountain was always rather
disappointing. When Banff became
better known, it was realized that the
view of the site from down at Bow
River was much more effective, and
Mr. Painter worked out a new scheme
which is now being carried out into
effect at the cost of several million dollars.

F. Nugent & Co. have closed one of
their camps, having completed the west
end of their work.
The stopping place of Roy Spurrs at
Willow River has been closed owing to
the lack of supplies, but the store is
still running.
The loading of the coyote holes at
the rock cut at Willow River was started on Monday, Sept. 1st. Mr. L. Johnson, who has a contract at Mile 192,
has charge of the loading. The blast
will take place about the 18th of Sept.

Foley, Welch & Stewart, who have

u1Mp in connection with the tunnel a
railroad camp, which haa not a parallel

There are two well known societies
working for the welfare of the men in
the construction camps, namely, the
Church Cimp Mission and the Reading
Camp Association. The object of the
former is to try and elevate the minds
of the men into a spiritual and moral
channel, while the aim of the latter is
to instruct the men along educational
lines.
The C. C. Mission is a nomadic mission to the moving camp life (in Canada), being the Canadian branch of the
Navy Mission Society of England.
There are about twenty missionaries
working in Canada thia year reaching
from Vancouver Island on the west to
New Brunswick on the east.
It is the unique mission of the C. C.
M. to checkmate the grave evil of lonely camp life. When men are segregated by fifties and hundreds, often at
great distances from civilization, such
as on the transcontinental from Edmonton to Fort George, there is naturally a deadening effect upon the minds
caused by the absence of diversified
interests; the results in the majority of
cases is a peculiar predisposition to the
allurements of drink, immorality,
gambling and other forms of vice.
The objects have leen attained with
good results, by the distribution of papers and magazines, the glad message
of help conveyed by the "skypiloti"
and an attempt to come into personal
contact with these noble pioneers on
the lonely frontiers. The success and
blessing given in the work has been
due to several causes. Firstly, the
kind welcome given to the missionaries
by the men themselves; secondly, the
willing help and kind hospitality received from the contractors and engineers, who have done their utmost to
show their appreciation and approval
of our work.
Superintendent McCormick, known
to all the contractors us "Railroad
Mac," was the pioneer missionary. He
started with the transcontinental in
the east, and haB followed its course
westward for five years; his sole ambition now is to follow the road through
to its completion. He has entrusted
the work from Fort George to Tete
Jauno Cache to Mr. Foreman and Mr.
Callan. Mr. Callan of Wycliffe Hall,
Toronto, works weat from Tete Jaune
Cache, while Mr. C. Foreman of Huron College, London, works from Fort

Thus spoke Sir Richard McBride, premier of British Columbia to a Montreal
Star representative at the Windsor
Hotel the other day, prior to his departure for Britain via New York, aboard
the Mauretania. "What we want,"
continued Sir Richard, "is a foreign

East End lo Reach Fort George
and West End Burns Lake
by First of Year.
Hazelton, B.C.- Speaking of
railway construction, J. W, Stewart, of the contracting firm of
Foley, Welch & Stewart, announced while here that the road
bed would be completed and the
rails connected up in April next
year.
Every contractor is making
great headway. All the camps
are working full forces and the
contractors are all on the job
urging men, horses and machinery to the utmost,
Mr, Stewart stated that by the
first of the year the steel would
be into Fort George from the east
and to the lower end of Burns
Lake on the west end by the
same time, leaving only about a
hundred miles of steel to lay before the spring. By April, 1914,
he looked to see the connecting
link completed.
From all reports received in
New Hazelton the construction
of the G.T.P. was never shoved
faster than at present. All the
contractors had lots of men; they
have lots of supplies and the big
freighting outfit is able to keep I
the supplies up. As the steel is j
advancing fast from both ends i
the freighting distance is shorter
and the time faster. Conditions
are more favorable for fast time
now than ever before.
If there is nothing serious interrupts the work through trains
will be running on the G.T.P. by I
next midsummer or earlier,

I ber licenses from the crown that
the Government is prepared to
give careful consideration, to any
argument against an increase in
the royalty that may be advanced. But at the same time it
should not be forgotten that the
Government, in all questions of
its administration, owes a duty
to the people of British Columbia
and in the matter of the timber
resources of the Province it is
essential that the return in revenue should be arranged for on
a fair and equitable basis,

minor defects, a few smoke and chew

them are partial to the rough stuff,
whatever that is. All of them would
make good husbands and .".nnounce
themselves as anxious to hear from
some good women.
Pity the love-lorn swains of Masset,
which is on Graham Island off the British Columbia coast. Bachelors there
have sent out a Macedonian cry for
wives and they threaten to leave their

Victoria, B.C.—The possibility
of deriving a larger and more
proportionate revenue from the
timber resources of British Columbia is the main object of the
inquiry into the royalty question
which is being undertaken hy
Hon. W. R. Ross, commencing
at Vancouver on September 8th.
The matter is one that affects
the interests of the public at
large. After deliberation which
involved consideration of the
subject from many angles the
conclusion has been reached that
the stumpage is in some instances being sold for less than its
worth and the object of an increased, and possibly graded
royalty is to insure that the timber resources, which are the
property of the people, as represented by the crown, yield a revenue that is considered commensurate with their great value,
At present the royalty is 50 cents
per thousand feet, board measure, but this is insufficient. It
is not considered a wise policy
that the timber men should be
enriched at the expense of the
public, and while the government is anxious to do everything
in its power to encourage the
lumber industry the duty of safeguarding the public interests is
paramount to every other consideration.
lt is with this object in mind i
that Hon. W. R, Ross, the Minister of Lands, is setting forth
to an important step forward in
the timber policy of the government, It is his hope that evidence will be submitted by all
lumbermen to him, who have interests in the Province and that
those who are unable to appear
before him in person will make
out memoranda of their case and
forward them to he considered
before definite legislation is
drawn up. This course should

J, K. Cornwall Describes New
Empire of Northern British
Columbia.
J. K. Cornwall of Edmonton,
who with a party including Emerson Hough has just returned
from the north, declares that his
trip has convinced him more and
more that the Peace River country was to be an annex to British Columbia. All the rivers to
the Pacilic, and all the timber,
turned to the Pacific. "It might
be true that at Fort Smith," said
Mr. Cornwall, "there are port-
aees of 300 feet high, and rapids
i.f 25 feet in depth but what
matters that, when all the rivers
run to the west,"
"Since we leftAthabascaLand-
ing, until we reached Prince Rupert, we never saw a sleeping
cu' or a decent meal. But that
does not matter. When we go
out into the North, we look for
northern conditions. Throughout our whole trip we were
amazed by the magnificence of
the country and the difficulty of
navigation. We went from Edmonton to Athabasca Landing
by train and thence by scows to
Fort McMurray. There was a
portage to Smith Landing of
some 300 feet, but from there we
ran down the McKenzie river to
Fort McPherson, which occupied
two and a half weeks.
"Finally we arrived at Fort
McPherson and thence made our
way down to Dawson and Skagway."
Mr. Cornwall has been for
many years the pioneer of the
Peace River country, and he was
untilia year ago its representative in the Alberta Legislature.
He made up his mind that he
could do more for the country by
personal efforts outside of politics than by political efforts, and,
